set_value

Set the value of a form field.

Example:

<input type="text" id="x" name="xyz" value="">
{% button text="fill" action={set_value target="x" value="etaoinstrdlu"} %}

Clicking on the button will set the value of the input element to the most interesting string etaoinstrdlu.

This action can set the value of any input element, select or text area. It uses the jQuery val() method to set the value.

Optionally the argument trigger_event can be passed to trigger a change event:

{% button text="fill" action={set_value target="x" value="..." trigger_event} %}

To trigger a custom event:

{% button text="fill" action={set_value target="x" value="..." trigger_event="myevent"} %}
